Amidst ongoing celebrations for the 25th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall, activists from the group Center for Political Beauty (CPB, or Zentrum fuer Politische Schoenheit, ZPS, in German) claim to have removed 14 white crosses from the city center placed in memory of some of the victims killed trying to cross from East to West Berlin during the Cold War, a protest designed to call attention to the activists' perceived hypocrisy found in fortifying the border preventing entry for refugees into Europe while celebrating the fall of the notorious one in Berlin a quarter of a century ago. The artist collective claims to have given the crosses to refugees from Mali hiding in the forests of Mount Gurugu in northern Morocco who are trying to cross into Melilla, one of two Spanish enclaves in the region, for passage into Europe.
